It’s always better to take medicine ( antipyretic ) to reduce the body temperature and keep it under normal limits . If incase the body temperature is not controlled , then , there are effects on the body like
- convulsions
- hallucinations etc
So always better to take medications and keep the temperature at 98.6f
